G.A. Mangus Arrested: South Carolina QB Coach Caught Urinating In Public [UPDATED]

UPDATE: Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier has suspended quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus following his arrest.

EARLIER:

University of South Carolina Quarterbacks Coach G.A. Mangus was arrested early this morning after he was found urinating on the street near a bar, WLTX in South Carolina reports

Josh Kendall of The State Newspaper reported that Mangus' speech was slurred and he was "uncooperative" when being questioned by the police officer.

Mangus was charged with nuisance conduct and booked into the Greenville County Detention Center at 1:59 a.m, according to Spencer Hall of SB Nation.

The fact that USC's quarterback coach has been arrested seems like quite a coincidence, given that the teams starting quarterback, Stephen Garcia, is no stranger to trouble. Garcia has been suspended by the team five times since he arrived on campus in 2007. He was just re-instated this past May following his latest suspension, which was doled out only two weeks after Garcia guaranteed he would not get in trouble again.

If Spurrier can't control his coaches and team, I don't see much hope for any head coach.

If you include the pros, there is one excepton. When Rex Ryan became coach of the NY Jets, one of the first things he told his players was they would stand, with their right hand over their heart, during the playing of the National Anthem or they would not play for the Jets. Mehinks it may be time for a little of that across the board in coaching.

Urine is usually sterile and hence much less of a hazard than spitting or, say, throwing one's chewing gum on the ground. He gets a citation for urination, his former governor gets a pass for lying, cheating and fraud....

There's a plaque on tree in Key West commemorating Earnest Hemingway pissing on it. Guess it all depends on who you are.

Wait a minute. Is this story about the quarterback or the coach? Headline: "G.A. Mangus Arrested: South Carolina QB Coach Caught Urinating In Public." What a coincidence! Billy Carter used to do that all the time. Good thing he didn't splash on the peanuts. What? They only said that he didn't? What a goober!

We need to legalize outdoor urination. Like my father, when he became old, he needed to go more often. Better in public than wetting the pants.

Sometimes when you are drinking you either go in your pants or go outdoors if there is no bathroom available. Thats why I quit drinking 25 years ago.

In SC, The public urination charge is often accompanied with indecent exposure. The respondent must register on the sex offender registry in the county of residence. If this charge is added, I doubt that he will be an SC resident.

Oh come on, nature is one big toilet, maybe he's a golfer. I understand the public urination thing, but it by a bar, prbably a parking lot. He who has not pissed in public cast the first stone.
